Speaker 2 (00:14):
The news you need to start your day and the
palm beach is at the treasure coast. This is the
Brian mudshall Yeah sure enough is hello, can stocks and
cryptocurrencies go? My first role money.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Is never let your money in the motions cross.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Paths, because if you do what happens sean bad things,
less money. A lot of the time yeah, over ninety
percent of the time that investors jump in and out
they try to time investments markets, what have you, they
do worse than if they just left their money alone
where they had it in the first place. And so
point is, we tend to be our own worst enemies,
even when we think we're doing the right thing. So

(00:49):
having to plan executing against that plan rather than being
moved around by the news of the day is always
going to be the better plan long term. And on
this note, I just try to fill into blanks informationally
so you can take advantage of the greatest wealth creation
machine in the history of the world, which is your
United States tack market as we get started this week,

(01:10):
taking a look at the big three indexes, all three
or two percent hire last week to close out May,
and when you take a look at year to day
performance entering June, Dow is flat s and P five
hundred is back to positive. Territory NASAK is only slightly
lower now, So the market into last week's shortened trading
week with those across the board gains, and we now

(01:32):
are into the slower summer trading months, although may not
be so slow given kind of like the headline stuff
that is out there. On that note, one of the
big storylines entering this week trade and tariff stuff once again, specifically,
China was in the crosshairs with the President on Friday, violated.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
A big part of the agreement we've made. You know,
if you read that all statement, I was very nice
to that I helped them because they were in trouble
with the stoppage of a massive amount of business. But
I'm sure that I'll speak to President she and hopefully
we'll work that out.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah. So that is one of the big things now
is what will be as President Trump has accused China
of violating the terms of their temporary trade deal while
they were working to hammer out a longer term deal.
Now in the world is hey, that's not going to happen,
Like a big comprehensive trade deal with China is not
going to happen unless the presidents get involved. Trump and

(02:28):
she in that and so that's one of the questions.
And you know, we had May that was an incredible
bounce back month for the markets with the you know,
gains ranging from four percent with a doubt to ten
percent with the Nassak and so much of that had
to do with some of the trade deals that had
started to occur, a ratcheting down of tariff concerns, and

(02:48):
then also great earnings by corporate America. But now we're
kind of like conversationally in different places. So you have
this increased intention with trade once again with China. You
have President Trump who is really unhappy with Putin in
Russia over progress with the ceasefire with Ukraine. And now
you also have the president on Friday he said that

(03:11):
he would increase tariffs on steel to fifty percent. That
prompted a response from the EU. They said they would
take countermeasures if the President does that, which means that
we would see an escalation of tariff stuff again, at
least in that one area that's amid the already challenging
trade negotiations with the EU. So on that note, we're
seeing stock market futures that are lower today. Not huge

(03:34):
sell off is indicated at this point, but lower because
you've got this uncertainty and these trade concerns that are
out there once again. As crypto's Bitcoin bulls were not
out last week. We saw that the prior week after
we had near record highs well, we saw some selling.
Bit went off off five percent last week, up ten

(03:55):
percent of the year, though Ether was a winner though
last week up six percent. It's been off twenty six
percent for the year though, and the bil YZTF was
off for the week and is also lower for the year.
That represents the top ten cryptos can't provide any crypto
analysis because they have no inherent value. I can for
sacks because they do using the S and P five
hundred as the benchmark. If only fundamentals and nothing else mattered,

(04:16):
your absolute maximum downside a risk is forty three percent
from here. That's a little more risk than the last
week because stock prices did rise faster than fundamentals, but
the market is five percent cheaper fundamentally than it was
at the peak of this cycle. Now, even if we
got selling that came back in, do I think we're
going to get a forty three percent sol from here. No?

(04:37):
Is it possible in theory. So let's just say it happened.
If it wouldn't negatively impact your daily life, great, You're
probably in good shape. If what, you probably need a
new plan, if necessary, a pro to help you with it.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
All right, let's go look at some Florida headlines. Well,
Florida is ready for what's forecast to be a busy
hurricane season. That from the governor. He visited a home
depot in Jupiter Friday along with Florida's Emergency Management director,
saying it's not enough to just hope we won't get
hit by a storm. We have to be prepared, especially
after three landfalls in Florida last year two of those
major hurricanes. Three people are safe after a plane crashed

(05:08):
off the coast of Indian River County Sheriff's office says
a single engine plane crashed last night in the ocean
off Zero Beach. Coast Guard helped local officials with the search.
Six people were taken from the water, and we don't
have their conditions, but they are recovering. We're told NTSB
and FAA now investigating that crash. And those are your

(05:29):
Florida headlines right
